At a time when the mindset of the people are buried into the believe that corruption is a way of life, State unit BJP president Th Chaoba’s strong commitment to fight it, is timely and appreciable. The trend in the present day governance is known by everyone and people both literate and illiterate now feels that bribing for getting something done is a way of life and above this misappropriation of fund by some big sort are legalised. This is being said so, because it is an open secret that parents and guardian often prepared for huge amount of money to bribe the concern authority for selection of the wards for getting a job in the government sector. It is also known to everyone on the nature of awarding works order for implementation of government project to the so called contractors or sub-contractors by concern ministers or bureaucrats. The present Manipuri society has been deeply affected by the so called phenomenon called corruption. A person who was harassed by government officials from bottom to the top for getting clearance of his official files never had anybody to complaint about the matter to anybody. As complaining about it might mean more trouble for him or her.
We have heard many allegations against the state BJP president Thounaojam Chaoba – over his mismanagement or misappropriation of fund or in straight words about the misdeeds he had allegedly committed when he was in power. But now he is a leader of a state unit political party under the vibrant leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is a fact that he might have wrong when he belongs to certain political parties which compelled him to undergo some sorts of works which were against the people of the state. But one thing we have to remember is that he has now changed a lot. He is now under the leadership of a person who never had any dark side to be criticised. And the same person will never allow his state unit leader to commit any form of unwanted activities which might hurt the sentiments of the general public.
Like – the notorious thieve Valmiki change into a sage, this is the new beginning of Th. Chaoba. There is absolute reason to believe in him when he said that his party will take the issue of corruption seriously. When he said that he will take every issues of misappropriation or mismanagement of government fund to the notice of the central leadership, he definitely seems to be moving in the right direction this time.
One more good deed Mr. Chaoba had initiated is the placing of a complaint box at which common people can put their grievances in the form of writing. Everyone knows that there is not a single MLAs neither any MP of BJP at either of the Manipur Legislative Assembly or at the two parliamentary constituencies of Manipur. So, What the BJP can do is forwarding the peoples’ grievances to the central leadership to take some action against those government employees who are not performing their duties. And if the center act , there is now way of escaping from the law of the land. People are expecting the new avatar of the former Union Minister Th Chaoba as a boon. But still than in politics anything can happened? This was what former Chief Minister Radhabinod Koijam had once stated. Let’s hope Mr. Chaoba changes the old practice of politics like the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing for the country.
Chaoba’s New Avatar is a boon for Manipur
